upset. "today in the bay's" marla tellez in our newsroom with more on this growing immigration controversy. marla, good morning. >> good morning. details of the president's plan were printed by "usa today" on saturday and here we are monday morning and some lawmakers still say the leak was no accident even though the white house swears it was. the leak comes just as the small group of democrats and republicans are working behind the scenes on a compromise immigration bill that is set to be unveiled next month. this much different white house plan would immediately protect 11 million illegal immigrants and allow them to become citizens within eight years. it does not guarantee ramped up border security first and foremost which is what republicans want. as you're about to hear, the obama administration says it is nothing more than a backup plan in case current efforts fall apart but many republicans aren't buying it. >> looking for a partisan advantage and not a bipartisan

solution. >> we'll have an option that we'll be ready to put out there. >> that was president's chief of staff on "meet the press." we spoke to an official with a network here in the bay area which is a grassroots faith based organization that supports immigrant rights and reform. he says the way to become a citizen under the president's plan is simply too long. >> eight years, that's not a solution. far from it. >> he goes on to say an immigration bill should work to keep families together. if the white house proposal came up for a vote today, the gop says it would be dead on arrival. as for the bipartisan bill, we're expecting to see it next month. it may not be voted on until summer. laura? >> thank you very much, marla. 6:33. the u.s. embassy in peru is warning travelers about a possible kidnapping threat. the government dismisses the warning but the u.s. embassy says the threat is credible. it comes from a terrorist group.

an update to breaking news in san jose as police investigate a deadly crash involving a stolen vehicle and a driver who allegedly tried to run down an officer. it all started near capital expressway and towers lane ending 11 miles south near monterey and blossom hill roads in san jose. that where "today in the bay's" arturo santiago joins us live with the very latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, laura. we're on blossom hill road just down the street from highway 101 interchange and police just reopened westbound blossom hill road to traffic about a half an hour ago. as you can see, traffic is flowing freely and easily. the traffic investigations unit was working into the early morning hours on this after someone apparently tried to run over a san jose police officer. it happened just after 11:00 last night. the officer was conducting a

traffic stop. for some reason the driver of an suv type vehicle tried to run over the officer and drove off. the police officer actually had to jump out of the way to avoid being hit by that suv. he then got into his patrol car and pursued the suspect who was heading south on 101 toward blossom hill road. at one point the suspect turned off all of his lights as a tactic to try to get away. the driver eventually lost control and rolled into a ravine near the 5400 block of monterey road. that suspect was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. >> officers went down in the ravine and contacted him and took him into custody. they immediately summoned for san jose fire department. they rolled out and got to the scene almost immediately. they were tending to the suspect at the time when he stopped breathing and he was later pronounced dead down in the ravine. >> reporter: the vehicle the suspect was driving turned out to be stolen out of san jose. there were also two female passengers who were in the suv. they had nonlife threatening

injuries and were taken to the hospital. the san jose police department's traffic investigations unit is continuing with this ongoing investigation. we're live in south san jose, i'm arturo santiago, "today in the bay." >> we have new details this morning about a deadly ferry crash over the weekend. sheriffs will tell us more about the crash between a speed boat and a golden gate ferry heading to san francisco. "today in the bay's" bob redell is live at the ferry building in san francisco with more details on this accident. bob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, jon. this is something that the coast guard is handling now and part of the investigation will focus on, one, why was this pleasure craft reportedly speeding and why wasn't it able to avoid colliding with the golden gate ferry this past weekend. marin county sheriff's office is releasing the names of the person killed and the other one who was injured when their pleasure craft crashed into that ferry on saturday afternoon. the coast guard should release their findings sometime next week.

it was around 4:00 saturday afternoon when a 22-foot boat collided with one of the golden gate ferries on its way to the ferry terminal here in san francisco. the crash happening in raccoon strait which is a waterway just south of tiburon near angel island. two people on that boat were flown to the hospital. one died yesterday. the other still recovering from their injuries. and as you can see in that video, the front of the pleasure craft is what sustained most of the damage. the windshield was heavily destroyed. the boat itself was able to stay afloat. didn't sink. was able to be towed away. none of the people on the ferry were hurt. the ferry's five crew members have been drug tested and placed on administrative leave pending results of those tests which is standard operating procedure. reporting live at the ferry building, bob redell, "today in the bay." the fog over the city by the bay this morning changes in that forecast we need to talk about.
